NOTE
/
Some of the system memory is dedicated to video.
Advanced Graphics Port
The Workstation Board supports AGP and AGP Pro50* add-in graphics cards to 1X, 2X, and 4X modes.
AGP is a high-performance, interconnect for graphic-intensive applications, such as 3D applications. AGP
is independent of the PCI bus and is intended for exclusive use with graphical display devices. AGP
provides these performance features:
• Pipelined-memory read and write operations that hide memory access latency
• De-multiplexing of address and data on the bus for near-100 percent bus efficiency
• AC timing for 133 MHz data transfer rates (AGP 2X), allowing data throughput of 533 MB/sec
• AC timing for 266 MHz data transfer rates (AGP 4X), allowing data throughput of 1064 MB/sec
An AGP Pro50 universal connector is provided on the Workstation Board. It accommodates both AGP and
AGP Pro50 cards with a maximum power requirement of 50 Watts.
AGP Pro50
AGP Pro50* is an extension to the AGP interface specification and is designed to meet the needs of
advanced workstation graphics. The new specification is primarily designed to deliver additional electrical
power to the graphics add-in cards.
The AGP Pro Universal Connector on the OR840 Workstation Board is designed to deliver up to 50 Watts
of electrical power.
13
Page 14
Workstation Board OR840 Product Guide
NOTE
/
The Workstation Board has been designed to support AGP Pro50 add-in cards. If you install an APG
Pro add-in card with a 110W, the BIOS utility prevents the board from booting. In addition, it is
recommended that the Supplementary AGP Pro50 power connector be utilized when running an AGP
Pro50 card.
It is recommended that no other peripheral devices (i.e., hard drives) be connected to the same power
supply cable that provides the supplementary AGP Pro50* power.
WARNING
Installing an AGP add-in card, which does not meet the requirements of the Accelerated Graphics
Interface Specification Revision 2.0, may result in damage to the Workstation Board or the card.
CAUTION
Care should be given when installing a non-AGP Pro50 graphics card into the AGP Pro Universal
Connector. Ensure that the card is correctly positioned in the slot before power is applied.
Audio Subsystem (Optional)
The optional Audio Subsystem includes the AD1881 Analog Devices* Audio Codec, and various
connectors.
Analog Devices* AD1881 Audio Codec
The board contains a single AC ’97 V 2.0-compliant audio feature, an Analog Devices* AD1881 Audio
Codec, which also meets AC ’97 V 2.1 Extensions. The AD1881 offers multiple features, including:
• Multi-bit Sigma-Delta Converter Architecture* for improved signal-to-noise ratio: ≥90 dB

Real-Time Clock
The Workstation Board has a time-of-day clock and a multi-century calendar with alarm features and
century rollover. A battery on the board keeps the clock current when the computer is turned off.
17
Page 18
Workstation Board OR840 Product Guide
NOTE
/
The recommended method of accessing the date in systems with Intel® Workstation Boards is from the
Real-Time Clock (RTC) via the BIOS. The BIOS on Intel motherboards contains a century checking and
maintenance feature. This feature checks the two least significant digits of the year stored in the RTC
during each BIOS request (INT 1Ah) to read the date and, if less than 80 (i.e., 1980 is the first year
supported by the PC), updates the century byte to 20. This feature enables operating systems and
applications using the BIOS date/time services to reliably manipulate the year as a four-digit value.
For more information on proper date access in systems with Intel Workstation Boards please see:
http://support.intel.com/support/year2000/paper.htm
USB Support
The Workstation Board has two- (2) USB ports, only one- (1) USB peripheral can be connected per port.
To attach more than two- (2) devices, connect an external hub to either of the built-in ports. The board fully
supports the standard, Universal Host Controller interface (UHCI) and takes advantage of standard software
drivers written to be compatible with UHCI.
NOTE
/
Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port might not meet FCC Class B
requirements, even if no device or a low-speed USB device is attached to the cable. Use a shielded cable
that meets the requirements for full-speed USB devices.
BIOS
The Intel® proprietary BIOS provides the “Power-on Self-test” (POST), the BIOS Configuration Manager
(Setup) program, ACPI, PCI and IDE auto-configuration utilities. The BIOS can be upgraded by following
the instructions in Section 3.
Intel® 82802AC Firmware Hub (FWH)
The BIOS is stored in the Intel 82802AC Firmware Hub. The firmware hub contains a nonvolatile memory
core based on Intel® Flash technology. In addition to storing the system BIOS, the firmware hub
incorporates logic features such as the hardware Random Number Generator (RNG). These logic features
enable protection for storing and updating platform information relating to security and manageability.
18
Page 19
Workstation Board OR840 Product Guide
PCI Auto Configuration
If you install a PCI add-in board in your computer, the PCI auto-configuration utility in the BIOS
automatically detects and configures the resources (IRQs, DMA channels, and I/O space) for that add-in
board. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after you install a PCI add-in board.
IDE Auto Configuration
If you install an IDE device (such as a hard drive) in your computer, the IDE auto-configuration utility in
the BIOS automatically detects and configures the device for your computer. You do not need to run the
BIOS Setup program after installing an IDE device.
Security Passwords
The BIOS includes security features that restrict whether the BIOS Setup program can be accessed and who
can boot the computer. An administrator password and a user password can be set for Setup and for
booting the computer, with the following restrictions:
• The administrator password gives unrestricted access to view and change all Setup options. This is
administrator mode.
• Setting a user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password prompt is displayed before
the computer is booted. If the administrator password is the only setting, the computer boots without
asking for a password. If both passwords are set, you can enter either password to boot the computer.
Expansion Slots
The Workstation Board contains five- (5), PCI expansion slots and one- (1) AGP slot.
Power Management Features
Power management is implemented at several levels, including:
• Software support:
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
• Hardware support:
Alert-on-LAN* 2 Technology
Wake-on-LAN* Technology
Wake-on-Ring Technology
Wake on USB or PS2 Keyboard/mouse
Wake on Real-time clock
19
Page 20
Workstation Board OR840 Product Guide
NOTE
//
Advanced Power Management is not supported.
Wake on LAN* Technology
Wake on LAN Technology enables remote wakeup of the computer through a network. The Workstation
Board supports Wake on LAN through the PCI bus PME# signal and the Intel® 82559 LAN controller.
This signal can wake up the computer only when the power cord is still plugged into the socket and the
computer is in a supported sleep state. Wake on LAN can be enabled or disabled through the BIOS
Configuration Manager program. A “Wake on LAN” connector is not required.
CAUTION
For Wake on LAN technology, the 5V standby line for the power supply must be capable of providing
adequate +5V standby current (1.0A). Failure to provide adequate standby current when implementing
Wake on LAN Technology can damage the power supply.
Alert on LAN* 2 Technology
The Workstation Board supports Alert on LAN* 2 Technology. Alert on LAN 2 Technology enables PCs
to send immediate alerts over the network when there are hardware or operating system failures or evidence
of tampering. Alert on LAN 2 improves on this technology by providing a way to remotely reboot hung
systems. If the system still hangs, it can be booted to a “known good state” in order to run diagnostics.
The 82559 LAN device supports Alert on LAN 2 technology in combination with the Alert on LAN device
through a dedicated 8-bit interface and through the Intel® 82801AA ICH.
Battery
A battery on the Workstation Board keeps the clock and the values in CMOS RAM current when your
computer is turned off. See Chapter 2 for instructions on how to replace the battery.

To create a BIOS upgrade or recovery diskette, do the following:
1. Obtain the BIOS upgrade file through your computer supplier or from the Intel World Wide Web site:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/workstation/or840/software.htm
2. Follow the instructions provided with the upgrade files to create the upgrade diskette:
Upgrading the System BIOS
1. Create a BIOS upgrade diskette.
2. Follow the instructions provided with the upgrade files.

Recovering the BIOS
WARNING
Before opening the chassis, always turn the power off, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet,
disconnect any telephone lines or LAN connections, and unplug all peripheral devices. The inside of the
chassis presents potential for multiple risks of personal injury, including risk of electrical shock, burns due
to hot components, and lacerations due to sharp edges! Refer to your system user's guide for important
safety information.
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS upgrade, however, if an interruption occurs, the BIOS
could be damaged. To recover the BIOS, use the following:
1. Turn the computer off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, disconnect any telephone lines
or LAN connections, and unplug all peripheral devices.
2. Remove the chassis cover to gain access to the jumper.
3. Remove the Configuration Mode jumper (J1F2). Save the jumper.
Figure 27. Location of Configuration Mode Jumper
4. Reassemble your system and turn the power on.
5. Insert the BIOS upgrade diskette in drive A: then boot the computer. The BIOS will automatically
update the System BIOS in flash memory. This process takes less than two minutes. The video display
will be disabled during the upgrade process.
6. Listen for the beeps coming from the small speaker on the motherboard (not the external audio port)
that indicates the BIOS update is complete. Remove the BIOS upgrade diskette when you hear the
following beep code: three beeps—pause—three beeps—pause—three beeps.
7. Shut down the system and unplug the system.
8. Reset the Configuration Mode jumper to the normal operation setting (connect jumper to pins 1–2).
9. Reassemble the system and reboot.
10. Choose Enter Setup.
11. Change the Configuration Manager settings to match your previous settings.
12. Save the changes and exit Configuration Manager.

CAUTION
Only the back panel connectors of this Workstation Board have over-current protection. The poweredinterval motherboard connectors are not over-current protected, and should connect only to devices inside
the computer chassis, such as fans and internal peripherals. Do not use these connectors for powering up
devices, which are external to the computer chassis. A fault in the load presented by the external devices
could cause damage to the computer, the interconnecting cable, and the external devices themselves.
This section describes the Workstation Board’s connectors. The connectors can be divided into three- (3)
groups as shown in Figure 28.

Installation Precautions
When you install and test the Workstation Board, observe all warnings and cautions in the installation
instructions.
To avoid injury, be careful of:
• Sharp pins on connectors
• Sharp pins on printed circuit assemblies
• Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis
• Hot components (like processors, voltage regulators, and heat sinks)
• Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit
• Observe all warnings and cautions that instruct you to refer computer servicing to qualified technical
personnel.
WARNING
Do not open the power supply. There is a potential risk of electric shock and burns from high voltage
and rapid overheating. Refer servicing of the power supply to qualified technical personnel.

Installation Instructions
CAUTION
Follow these guidelines to meet safety and regulatory requirements when installing this Workstation Board
assembly.
Read and adhere to all of these instructions and the instructions supplied with the chassis and associated
modules. If the instructions for the chassis are inconsistent with these instructions or the instructions for
associated modules, contact the supplier’s technical support to find out how you can ensure that your
computer meets safety and regulatory requirements. If you do not follow these instructions and the
instructions provided by the chassis and module suppliers, you increase the safety risk and the possibility of
noncompliance with regional laws and regulations.
Ensure Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Before computer integration, make sure that the power supply and other modules have passed EMC testing
using a Workstation Board with a processor from the same family and operating at the same (or higher)
speed as the processor on this Workstation Board.
In the installation instructions for the host chassis, power supply, and other modules pay close attention to
the following:
• Certifications
• External I/O cable shielding and filtering
• Mounting, grounding, and bonding requirements
• Keying connectors when mis-mating of connectors could be hazardous
If the power supply and other modules have not passed applicable EMC testing before integration, EMC
testing must be conducted on a representative sample of the newly completed computer.
Ensure Chassis and Accessory Module Certifications
Make sure that the chassis, any added subassemblies, such as a board or drive assembly, and internal or
external wiring, are certified for the region(s) where the end product will be used. Marks on the product are
proof of certification. Certification marks are as follows:
95

Workstation Board OR840 Product Guide
• In Europe
The CE marking signifies compliance with all relevant European requirements. If the chassis does not bear
the CE marking, obtain a supplier’s Declaration of Conformity to the appropriate standards required by the
European EMC Directive and Low Voltage Directive. Other directives, such as the Machinery and
Telecommunications Directives might also apply depending on the type of product. No regulatory
assessment is necessary for low voltage DC wiring used internally or wiring used externally when provided
with appropriate overcurrent protection. A maximum 8-A current limiting circuit or a maximum 5-A fuse
or positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor provides appropriate protection. All Intel motherboards
now have PTCs on all external ports that provide DC power externally.
• In the United States
A certification mark by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) such as UL, CSA, or ETL
signifies compliance with safety requirements. External wiring must be UL Listed and suitable for the
intended use. Internal wiring must be UL Listed or Recognized and rated for applicable voltages and
temperatures. The FCC mark (Class A for commercial or industrial only or Class B for residential)
signifies compliance with electromagnetic interference requirements.
• In Canada
A nationally recognized certification mark such as CSA or cUL signifies compliance with safety requirements. No
regulatory assessment is necessary for low voltage DC wiring used internally or wiring used externally when provided
with appropriate over-current protection. A maximum 8-A current limiting circuit or a maximum 5-A fuse or positive
temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor provides appropriate protection. All Intel motherboards now have PTCs on all
external ports that provide DC power externally.
Prevent Power Supply Overload
Unless the power supply has inherent over-current protection, do not overload the power supply output. To
avoid overloading the power supply, make sure that the calculated total current load of all the modules
within the computer is less than the output current rating of the power supply. If this precaution is not
taken, the power supply could overheat, catch fire, or damage the insulation that separates hazardous AC
line circuitry from low-voltage user accessible circuitry. If the load drawn by a module cannot be
determined by the markings and instructions supplied with the module, contact the module supplier’s
technical support.
Place Battery Marking on the Computer
There is insufficient space on this Workstation Board to provide instructions for replacing and disposing of
the battery. The following warning must be placed permanently and legibly on the chassis as near as
possible to the battery.
WARNINGS
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace with only the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
